ASA PETTENGILL, OF PETERBOROUGH, N. H. ASSIGNOR OF ONE-HALF TO GEORGE DRAPEB- 85 SONS, OF HOPEDALE, MASS.

YARN GUIDE AND GUARD FOR SPINNING-FRAMES.

CJPECIPICAI'IQNfor-ming part of Letters Patent No. 306,3l8, dated October 7, 1884:.

Application filed October 12, 1863. (No model.)

To all whom it may concern.-

Be it known that I, ASA PETTENGILL, of Peterborough, county of Hillsborough, State of N cw Hampshire, have invented an Improve- 5 ment in Spinning-Frames, of which the following description, in connection with the accompanying drawings, is a specification, like letters on the drawings representing like parts.

. 10 This invention in spinning-frames relates more especially to guides and guards or separators for the yarn, the same being adapted to take the place of the usual guide-wire and guards or separators which are commonly ap- 1 plied to the ring-rail or roller-beam between adjacent bobbins.

The invention consists in a guide and guard for spinning-frames, composed, essentially, 0 an open-sided elongated tapered scroll having 20 between its folds a passage through which to lead the yarn into the center of the scroll, and an outer lip projecting therefrom to form a wide mouth for the easy introduction of the yarn into the device, all as hereinafter particu- 2 5 larly set forth and claimed.

Figure 1 is a sectional detail of a sufficient portion of a ring-spinning frame of usual construction, showing my improved guide and guard or separator in section, and Fig. 2 an 0 under side View of my improved guide and guard.

The roller-beam A, roller-stand B, rolls ab 0 a Z) 0, board (Z, hinged guide'board e, and bobbin f, are all as usual, and will be actu- 3 5 ated in usual manner.

Instead of the usual guideeye composed of wire, I employ a combined guide and guard, 9, shown as shaped like a scroll and attached to a plate, h, which is secured to the guideboard eby asuitable screw or screws, m. This scroll, tapered and made smallest at its upper end, is wrapped aboutitself to form a passage, 2, through which to lead the yarn into the center of the scroll, and the outer lip, 3, of the scroll is directed outward, as in Fig. 2, to form a wide mouth for the easy introduction of yarn into the guide and guard.

This improved device serves all the purposes of a guide-eye, and in addition thereto it serves as a guard or separator, to prevent that part of the yarn between the guideboard e or the upper end of the scroll and the usual traveler (not shown) from bowing or throwing out sufiicientl y to strike an adjacent yarn, or one broken end from striking against and breaking down an adjacent unbroken yarn, or from doubling upon and making the said yarn gouty in spots.

, I claim- The guide and guard for spinning-frames, consisting, essentially, of the open-sided elongated tapered scroll 6, having the passage 2 and lip 3, substantially as shown and described.

In testimony whereof I have signed my name 6 to this specification in the presence of two subscribing witnesses.
